I recently booked The Studley Hotel as a special birthday treat for my wife, and it exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by a lovely receptionist, and to our delight, the owner, Ardi, happened to be passing by. He personally welcomed us and even treated us to complimentary drinks, making our stay feel even more special and personal. The hotel itself is a masterpiece of ambience and comfort. The atmosphere is beautifully romantic, perfect for couples seeking a private retreat or those celebrating a special occasion. The first floor is thoughtfully designed with two exquisite dining rooms, private and compartmentalized spaces, a bar, a lounge, and a cozy reception area. It offers a unique balance of privacy and community, making it ideal for intimate dinners or larger celebrations. On the ground floor, the dining experience becomes even more extraordinary. The layout features unique compartmentalized zones, and the kitchen is staffed by an impressive team of ten chefs, each specializing in different cuisines. Whether you're craving Japanese, Italian, French, Chinese, or Portuguese dishes, they cater to every taste with precision and flair. The attention to detail and the variety of culinary options make dining at The Studley truly unforgettable. Ardi, the visionary owner, has also recently taken over The Divino, just a stone's throw from The Studley Hotel. This venue mirrors the elegance of The Studley, offering chilled-out compartments for dining and cocktails across the first and second floors, as well as a private functional area on the ground floor for parties and events. Both The Studley Hotel and The Divino are testaments to Ardi’s dedication to creating spaces that are welcoming, luxurious, and full of charm. Our weekend getaway was nothing short of magical, and I can’t recommend these places highly enough for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply indulge in a fantastic experience.

All was just perfect.

We pre-reserved the parking and a cone was put in a space with our car reg on it, I thought this was well organised and worked well. We were upgraded at check in to an executive room with a comfy big four poster bed. Room was a great size with a view out of the front of the hotel. The window had privacy glass. We were above the restaurant but didn't hear it so must be well sound-proofed. Location is great in a quiet area but close to walk in to the centre. There was a good selection at breakfast and the staff are all friendly and professional. Nice cocktails in the bar.

Nothing, it was all good.

the room was clean & tidy

the staff were quite rude and abrupt which really puts me off instantly as I believed first impressions are everything. receptionist appeared defensive straight away we couldn’t check in as we were far too early but didn’t actually allow me to finish my sentence I had paid for early check in

Great location in centre of Harrogate. Fab breakfast! On site parking is a plus in busy Harrogate (chargeable but worth booking), very friendly staff on reception. Nice looking restaurant and outside eating areas, sadly fully booked for our visit :-( We liked the covered seating areas outside on the terrace.

Having to slam our room door to get it to shut and having to pull the handle like mad to re-open our room door every time - very noisy for other guests, but no other option - Room 30) On a hot weekend we missed having air-con, and had to make the best of an electric fan on dressing table and windows as far open as possible.

Lovely hotel, situated right in the heart of Harrogate. Staff friendly and helpful and Orchid restaurant superb (if rather pricey). Simply couldn't fault service in restaurant - such a refreshing change to have a young waiter who was friendly and chatty. Food there fabulous. Room small but clean, with great shower and comfy bed. Will definitely return - loved it 😀

Some decor a little tatty and cleaner's cupboards opposite our room left open, with ladders leaning on wall outside throughout stay. Had to pay extra for parking, which - whilst convenient - was an extra expense, as was breakfast. Breakfast good, but - considering Thai influence and superb Pan-Asian restaurant - would have perhaps expected more choice of fruits for starters (e.g. lychees). Nice breakfast overall, though.

Did not have breakfast, we walked up into town which was literally 5 minutes away.The hotel was situated for local coffee shop and bars, lots of lovely walks in the park and I loved that there was plenty of benches scattered around for a welcome rest for the legs from all the walking.

It's not that there was anything to dislike, but the room was a little tired decorative wise. The kettle unit was cream plastic and attached to the wall, which was a little too high for me being small. It was a bit cheap looking for the stature of the hotel.Maybe I'm being picky but for standard of hotel would have expected better.

The location is excellent within walking distance and very central to the town centre. There is parking for £12 a night and EV charging facilities. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in an old building and has character and a lovely reception area. It also has a restaurant which we didn't eat at but would definitely next visit as it seemed very popular with excellent reviews. We would return and stay again as the room rate was very competitive.

The bed mattress wasn't too comfortable, and the bathroom was very small. We stayed in the Executive Room and it didn't feel very luxurious.

We booked an executive room, which was quite large, well furnished with a, huge, very comfortable bed. The bathroom was large and contained a super shower, although it had a high step to get into. The breakfast was extra and was ok for the price, however on the Sunday morning the cooked breakfast was from a buffet as opposed to freshly cooked the previous day. Great location, only about 10\15 walk minutes to get to furthest part of the town. Staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

Bedroom noise, we were in room 9, next to the bar and above the restaurant/club. There was an amount of noise in the evening, not horrendous, but very noticeable , up until about 1130pm on the Friday night. Less noise on the Saturday.

Very spacious and clean bedroom Very friendly staff Lovely modern bar and restaurant The food in the restaurant looked so nice although we didn't eat there we have said we will next time . Breakfast was so good freshly cooked to order

Although modern bathroom it was quite small We paid for an executive room , and although a very spacious comfortable bedroom wasn't as what we thought it would be compared to the pictures on booking. We will definitely come back but would request a room that isn't on ground level , alot of noise from the room above

The hotel is perfectly located, within walking distance to everything you need and want to do in Harrogate. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and beautifully kept. Very quiet as well, I heard no noise from traffic or people outside. I didn't have food, I couldn't rate that. Maybe next time, it did smell divine. Rooms are well equipped with everything you need. The bathroom was beautiful and clean, well lit, and there were lots of mirrors for getting ready, I think one mirror you could get radio on, but I am useless with tech, so didn't try.

These comments are my personal opinions, and others will find ok. They by no means ruined my stay or deter me from staying again.. A lot of stairs to walk up with a heavy bag. If I had known, I would have requested a room on a lower floor, as I have a bad back and knee. I was unable to open windows as I couldn't reach as was in attic, and I'm 5ft tall. With my bad back, I wasn't keen on climbing into a high bath, with no handrail to steady myself. I was only staying one night, so I didn't want to pester staff. But will know for next stay. As I will definitely be booking again
